241. Solstice

Callista“That's... unexpected,” I mutter, not really knowing what I have to say now. In the past few minutes, I've learned more about my parentage than I'd known my whole life from none other than a man who called himself the devil and kidnapped me to kill me in the end. And that was a lot of unexpected information. I mean, I've never even dreamed of my mother also being a stealer. It was so surreal to even think about that. I've never thought of my being a stealer from a technical aspect. For me, it was rotten luck, and for the most part, a curse. I thought it was a punishment from the Goddess, perhaps for something I did in another life.As for my mother, well, I thought she was a rogue wolf who'd gotten pregnant by accident. Sometimes it happens with rogues, and in their crazed mental states, they'd just abandon the pups after giving birth to them. The pups would be born in human form and unless they are taken care of immediately, they would die.It was either that or my parent

242. Refuge

TheonAlthough I wanted to venture off in the night itself, it was not prudent to leave for Callista’s rescue given how everyone at the party was already exhausted. So, we decided to snooze for a few hours and hit the road in the morning.The Headmistress and Matron Aldar left for the Witches Guild that night itself, and Ophelia, Leita, Kiran, and Mater Tsertinand took refuge in the castle. Knowing that Callista was safe and alive while being taken care of, although she was imprisoned, eased my mind a little, and unlike the night before I managed to get a little sleep. Early in the morning when the sun hasn't even risen yet, we get up, grab the bags we'd packed in the night before, and meet up in the dining hall.“I hope you all had a good night,” I remark as soon as I enter the dining hall. “We got a long road ahead of us, and we might not be able to rest again.”“It was alright,” Leita says, buttering a roll. “But I forgot to send Dan with Matron Aldar last night, so I have to ret

243. Safe

Theon“I forgot how fucking uncomfortable it is to travel in these tin cans,” Master Tsertinand mutters next to me, squirming under the seatbelt yet again. “Especially with these harnesses. What's the point of these, again?”“They keep you safe in case of an accident,” I reply, somewhat amused by this big man getting held back by a small strap across his chest.Seeing Master Tsertinand in a minivan was hilarious, but his obvious discomfort and the comments it created were so comical that Ophelia, who was sitting next to him demanded to change seats with me at the front so Tsertinand wouldn't murder her for laughing at him.Judging by how red in the face she was, she'd been dangerously close to it. “We're witches, we do not get in accidents,” he mutters, and Haden chimes from the front.“Yeah, but we're wolves, and we do not like to be called over by the human police so the seatbelt should better be in place,” Haden was immune to Master Tsertinand's intimidation surprisingly and told

244. Motel

TheonWe drive for the longest time after lunch, and the snowfall only increases.“It's getting hard to see, Alpha,” Haden says at about 08:00 PM as we glide through the highway. “The snow is fogging up the windscreen.”I straighten from where I was leaning on the door to my left and peak at the front of the vehicle, and it is extremely hard to see outside. Although the wipers work to their maximum capacity, the snowfall is faster.If we keep driving at this rate, we might crash. I see more and more drivers exiting the highway. I sigh. Even the damned weather is against us. “Let's get off the highway and find a motel,” I give in to the weather. “Get some rest and continue on after the snowstorm.”“Yes, Alpha,” Haden replies.We exit the highway yet again, and this time the area we stumble into is more secluded than the last one. It's pitch black outside even though it's not that far into the night because of the winter, and we only see a handful of vehicles on the road. “The snowst

245. Kids

Theon“You can put the room under John Latham,” I give her the fake name I always use when dealing with the human world.While Theon Rexellen does not exist in their world, John Latham who was born on June 14th in the same year I was born.He's a businessman who worked in various industries which required him to travel profusely and had his very own passport, birth certificate, driver's license, as well as multiple bank accounts.Of course, all the documents I had under the name were forged. When wolves engaged with the human world, we were always very careful not to let them know our real names, because none of us had birth certificates or social security numbers issued by their government. Essentially it meant we were illegals living in this country, but who was going to check?“Alright, what kind of a room would you like?” she asks, glancing at Master Tsertinand. “A single bed? Double bed? Single bedroom or double bedroom?”“We're actually a group of six people,” I reply. “So, we'

246. Claim

TheonAs the Alpha of the Rexellen pack as well as the Alpha King of all of North America (they make sure to mention both those facts), I get one of the beds in one of the rooms regardless of how much I deny the need to be treated so.As the oldest person in our group, Master Tsertinand gets one of the beds in the other bedroom. As my Gamma, Haden takes the other bed, although he looks extremely apologetic about it. Ophelia has to take the last remaining bed because Leita and Kiran refuse.“Please, I can squeeze into the couch with my size comfortably,” she insists. “You guys are both taller than me, and it's going to be hell for either one of you to fit in there.”“Nah, it won't be that hard. Besides, we can always take the floor,” Leita says. “I think it'll be wise for us to take the living room space. We can guard the door in that way. Who knows what will happen?”“I'm still not sure if this place does or doesn't come with a serial killer package deal, so I agree,” Kiran chimes in

247. Lake

TheonThere is a beautiful lake in front of me. It gleams under the summer sun, cerulean blue and sea glass green, its waves lapping the pebbled shores serenely. Spring green grass surrounds the lake, wildflowers popping through the blades randomly. I'm sitting under an old, grand tree, and I lean on its trunk. I feel happy.I look to my side and see the smiling face of my mate. She's as beautiful as ever, her dark hair tightened in a braid with escaped locks framing her face. Her emerald eyes glitter happily. She leans her head on my shoulder with a sigh.“I was thinking about names,” she says to my surprise. “Oh, yeah?” I find myself asking. “Boy names or girl names?”“Well, both,” she replies. “I don't want to know earlier. Want them to be a surprise, you know?”She lovingly strokes her belly, and I join her, putting my hand above her own. I feel the little life growing inside of her. I don't know how, maybe it's a part of my Alpha King power. Nevertheless, I'm grateful for it.

248. Hunters

Theon"Holy shit!" Haden yelps behind me and I immediately put my hands up."Don't move!" The silhouette screams with a hard, masculine voice, "Take one step forward and I will blast your face off!""Look, dude, we don't want any trouble," I say, "We're just tourists.""Oh, you're a tourist? How fucking convenient!" The silhouette says, shaking the nozzle of the gun.I can't believe there is a gun-wielding man in the motel parking lot especially after we joked about this place being the lair of an ax murderer or a serial killer. I didn't seriously think either of those will happen despite the stereotypes, but here I am with a gun aimed at my face.Who the hell is this guy? Was he trying to rob the minivan? I didn't know the crime rates around this place. Was this common? This feels like something Debbie should've warned us about before we checked in."We don't know about convenience or whatnot" Haden replies, his tone annoyed, "But that's what we are. Who the hell are you to be point

249. Gun

Theon“Debbie! Get the hell out of wherever you are!” I shout, standing in front of her office room.I aim the gun at the sky and pull the trigger, releasing a shot that thunders through the silence of the night and the howl of the wind.“Oh, goodness gracious, what's going on?” Debbie's voice comes as she stumbles out of the office room, dressed in a set of pajamas.Upon seeing me with the gun, she freezes in her tracks with wide eyes.“No...”I point the gun at her.“You sent that old man after us,” I declare and watch as she sputters. “W-what? No, what are you talking about, Mr. Latham?” she whimpers. “I didn't do anything, please don't shoot me...”“Cut the crap, Debbie, I know what you and your old man are,” I growl. “Just like you know who I am.”“Please, I didn't mean to harm you. It just slipped out. I didn't think Dad would come after you!” She protests, her hands shaking as she holds them up.“Am I supposed to believe that?” I reply. What kind of an idiot does she think I a

250. Magic

TheonWe finally crossed Wyoming without any sort of attack from hunters. As soon as we crossed the border, Ophelia let go of the enchantment she put on the hunters' bindings. They should be free to get out of their office now. Hopefully, Debbie will manage to talk some sense into her elderly father so he won't entertain the idea of coming after us. Of course, if Debbie was lying, that wouldn't happen. Hunters were known to be persistent in their causes, and when a werewolf manages to escape from them, they won't hesitate to relentlessly pursue them. Whatever. If they are stupid enough to come after us, I'll just end them. I was not fond of killing, but sometimes it was necessary, especially when the other party wanted to do the same for me or someone I cared for. Ophelia takes a deep breath and lets it go after releasing the enchantment.“Phew. That might just be the longest few hours of my life,” she comments. “You've never held a spell for that long before?” I ask her.She shak
